Proposed Residence for S. Makhan Singh
This elegant residential design by Hothico Architects combines grandeur with modernist influence, emphasizing symmetry, geometry, and spatial openness. The most distinctive elements are the cylindrical towers on the front façade, lending a stately presence that sets this home apart. The use of large vertical glass panels ensures the interior receives abundant natural light, enhancing the spatial quality while contributing to passive lighting strategies. The clean cream façade with minimal ornamentation is tastefully contrasted with maroon domed roofs, echoing traditional Indian architectural forms in a contemporary setting.
The building layout balances both vertical and horizontal design flow. Horizontal balcony projections, pergolas, and decorative railing work create a rhythmic break in the massing and provide functional outdoor spaces for each level. The classical columns on the left-side veranda bring a timeless appeal, creating a formal entrance that offers both aesthetic value and shaded utility. Integration of planters into balconies and terrace edges adds to the visual charm and underlines the firm’s approach toward blending greenery within living spaces.
